In the second of many collaborations with our next-door neighbors, East Bay Booksellers, Jeff Chang visits Local Economy. Chang’s new book is Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America. Bruce Lee, if you don’t know, spent a crucial period of his early years in Oakland. Chang is also the author of several other celebrated books including Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop and We Gon’ Be Alright. Chang will be in conversation with Alexis Madrigal. They’ll range across the Pacific economic and cultural circuits from the 60s to now, from Lee and the Panthers to today.
Doors at 6. Conversation from 6:30-7:30. Chang will sign after the conversation, next door at EBB.
